Directions:
Rittel and Weber (1973) describe 10 characteristics of wicked problems, and they explain that wicked problems are social problem that “are never solved. At best they are only re-solved–over and over again” (p. 160).
For this Digital Gallery Walk, you are to first identify a “wicked problem” that impacts your professional practice in some way and then fashion a slide from this presentation that explains how that wicked problem impacts your professional practice. To complete this assignment, you will need to describe your wicked problem in about 100 words, add an image that represents your problem, and include a caption that explains how the image represents your problem. When finished, please choose a MEITE Mate’s slide and provide feedback to him/her/them in the slide’s speaker notes. Specifically, please comment on what stood out to you about your MEITE Mate’s wicked problem and what questions you have about it. (Make sure to include your name in the speaker notes, so you get credit!)
Please note, you will be working with this wicked problem for the rest of these Design Thinking modules, so choose wisely 🙂
